About Us

Crofton Lodge is a residential care home in Fareham, Hampshire, and we support a broader group than many homes take on. Older people who need help with daily living. Adults with learning disabilities and autistic people. Adults living with mental ill health. Younger adults. Respite stays are available as well.

A mixed household only works if people are treated as individuals rather than as categories, and that is how we try to run the place. Support is agreed with the person, written in terms they recognise, and reviewed as circumstances move. Some residents need a great deal of practical help with washing, dressing, medication and mobility. Others mainly want a settled place to live, company when they choose it, and a household that holds steady through a difficult week.

For autistic people, predictability is a need rather than a preference, so changes are explained in advance and staffing is kept consistent where we can. For residents living with mental ill health, what we offer most is reliability and an absence of drama.

We should be straightforward about our position. Our most recent overall rating from the Care Quality Commission is requires improvement. We have gone through the findings with our team, and those areas are where our attention is concentrated at present. We would rather tell you ourselves and then let you judge the place for yourself.

Anyone considering Crofton Lodge is welcome to visit on an ordinary day and ask us anything.
